Prenatal Preparation:

Crib? Check! Diapers? Check! Stroller? Check! Ready, right? Not quite.

During this 3 hour visit we will review nursery and postpartum must-haves and set up your home to be baby ready. We will ensure you are prepared with the essential postpartum care products for mama, must-have gadgets for the home and nursery, and will set up helpful feeding and changing stations throughout the home. We will also identify your circle of support and how you can get effective help with meal trains, boundaries around family/friend visits and a full list of referrals for professionals and services to address your perinatal needs.

Welcome Home:

Maybe you aren’t sure what type or duration of support you will need or want, so a one time in-home visit on the day you arrive home (or soon after) with your newborn can be essential to a smooth recovery.

During this 4 hour visit we will focus on the essentials during those first few days of life with a newborn: ensuring feeding is going well and address any issues with feeding such as getting a deep latch or addressing discomfort during or after nursing (if applicable), getting mama fed and hydrated, offering guidance to the support partner for effective support, newborn basic training for parents including bathing, diapering, swaddling and soothing techniques. We can address any outstanding needs for baby care and postpartum products, nursery must-haves and ensure the home is set up for life with a newborn including feeding and changing stations.

I can also assist with the transition for an older sibling and/or pet as you get settled.

Virtual Consultation:

Following our time working together or if at any time during your newborn parenting journey you feel in need of additional support from a knowledgable provider or trusted referalls, I am available for 1 hour consultations via zoom or FaceTime.
